Interesting progress there.  It looks, to me, a little weird how the RHW 6-C or RHW 6-S(?) are drawn, but I'm sure that I will figure it out,  Keep it up everyone, the project is looking just fantastic! :D

looks nice, though it's difficult to visualize the whole system without ramps having been shown (at least not in a while). And the lane reduce/add points. (Will we have an option of a new lane starting from an on ramp? or lane ending at off ramp?)

As long as textures are made for them, almost anything is possible. ;)

The shoulders seem to be too narrow... it reminds me of the Sea to Sky Highway in BC. The province is currently upgrading and expanding it, and from what I have seen driving through there in August, the upgraded and widened portions will still have sections with narrow shoulders.

Allan,
actually here where i live in Nashville,Tennessee, some of the interstates shoulder are very narrow due to the fact that when they were built decades ago, they didnt have room to add shoulders bc of the rocky terrain here

Instead for just pasting the link into the post, please add some coding like this :
[url=http://......]Nashville,Tennessee[/url]
That long link mess up the page making the thread harder to read.

That will in your case looks like this: Nashville,Tennessee
It's not that hard.

It's most likely because we're suffering from RLS.  ;)

Where would I find a tutorial of how what things can and can't interchange with the current RHW?

On and offramps are (currently) done with avenue replacement, avenue intersections, yes?

How do I bridge?  Avenue replacement, then one-way street or highway segments?

Can traffic path through parallel, same direction RHW segments?  (8+ lane projects, etc)

Where's the overpass segments for RHW?  Are there any?

-Crissa

PS:  Everyone keeps saying they need textures.  How are textures inserted/aligned for plugins?  Because I have alot of graphical software (Adobe, Maya, etc) and can output in nearly anything.

Meh. It wouldn't be hard to create a series of lots or perhaps a street-based puzzle drag that provides a shoulder. It's pretty low on the priority list, though, IMHO.

Tarkus & rickmastfan: everything is looking wonderful. I really like the puzzle-drag RHW-4. It has an additional advantage aside from MIS and collector-distributor systems -- one can emulate successfully a one-way motorway, as pointless as they are.

Try telling that to the people who made that motorway in Adelaide. :P

Textures are created as 128x128 pixel PNGs using PSP, PS, etc.  These are then taken by a modder and made into FSH file (SC4 Textures) using SC4Tool or FiSHman.  The issue is, Modders are generally very basic texture artists at the most.  For the most part Tarkus and I are good at copy/paste/overlay type functions and getting better at making the textures.  But, for additions that are totally new and there is no base texture provided for us, we have troubles making these.

If you would like to get into texturing to help make these and other projects go faster, send me a PM.  Texturing is one of the easiest ways to help out, its just in most cases you need to have a talented eye for making them and a little bit of patience.

I can totally mod up any 128 texture PNGs you want.  Do they have an alpha channel or no?

Totally I can do that.  It'd be nice if I had a sample or two from a modder so I know what brightness is apprpos for projects, and I'd be working in a vaccum, but I can totally make any PNG blend, rotate, or pattern you'd like.  I was making some tire tracks for some 3D virtual world projects and 128 textures are a whiz to make by comparison.

@Crissa  If want to help send me a PM, it will take a couple of days to extract some old textures for you to investigate.   If any other members who need texture help for an upcoming mod, please speak up.  If not I will find something that can be done!

Actually, I'd need some texturing help. :) I always wanted to edit Marrast's road underpass for the Euro Road Textures Mod, but my attempts so far have shown mixed results. For more information, look here: http://sc4devotion.com/forums/index.php?topic=210.msg70258#msg70258

FYI: I hope to be posting an update soon on the Upgrade process of the RHW-2 system.  When I do, you guys will be shocked at some of the ideas I have and hope to be implemented into the system for you realistic buffs. ;)
